Whereas cities similar to London and Edinburgh are the most popular destinations to visit, there are lots of different locations that are well worth going to and probably the most frequently ignored regions in England, with regards to vacations, is the county of Surrey.
Surrey is situated in the South East of England less than one hour from the nation’s capital, London. Due to the close proximity to London, the county is highly popular with commuters and whereas this has increased the population, and the price of living, it has, surprisingly, had minimal influence upon the beautiful countryside. While Surrey is usually neglected in favour of the capital, and the nearby counties of of Sussex and Kent, that is to the great benefit of the adventurous visitor.
Many tourists are drawn to the nation of England because of its rich and influential historical past and locations like London profit from being home to a big selection of world class customer sights and plenty of historic buildings. Whereas Surrey is unable to supply such prestigious visitor sights as many other parts of England it’s home to an enormous range of historic buildings, a lot of which are of extreme importance.
Spread throughout the region are quite a few highly interesting structures together with a superb choice of windmills which include; Hurt Wood Mill, Lowfield Heath Mill, Outwood Post Mill and Wray Common Mill, and those at Charlwood, Buckland, Frimley Green and Reigate Heath and more.
Many of the religious buildings can be dated back many centuries and even way back to the 12th and thirteenth centuries. Wherever you travel on this region of the nation you will not journey too far before you come upon a tiny village or hamlet most of which sport a number of picture postcard old homes, a local public house, village green and of course, the village church.
These villages are nice places to stop for a bite to eat and it is typically worth visiting the church as many have historic architectural aspects, informative burial places and fantastic stained windows. As well as the many churches there are a number of priories which are also worth investigating. Worth a particular mention are the ruins of Waverley Abbey, the very first Cistercian abbey in the United Kingdom.
